I am just amazed at how much social media has changed our lives. Thanks to Facebook, for example, I am able to reconnect with long lost friends and catch up. Another thing I have noticed is how social media has brought many people together for one cause or another. Take a look at what happened in Egypt or in Japan, people came together to rally for their cause or to begin humanitarian assistance for people in need after a natural disaster. Even locally, one can find out what is going on in Tallahassee with our elected officials and how these rules may effect our lives.
Our organization started its own Facebook page and it is called RMTC and OSBD. Check it out to see what we are up to around the State of Florida.
For better or worse, social media is changing the way we access information and connect with
others
Have a nice day!

News from around Florida....
I received an email today from Just for teachers, a listserve from Florida's Department of Education, that Commissioner Eric Smith from the Department of Education (FLDOE) is going to resign in June. Just want to say thank you Commissioner Smith for your services to the children and teachers of the State of Florida.

news from around the state
When I go into a school district work and work with a teacher(s) who does something special or goes above and beyond, I like to spread the word:
Sharon Day the AT Specialist from Monroe County organized the second annual eye exam/vision testing on February 28, 2011 with Dr. Paul Mauer, Ophthalmologist from Key West. Dr. Mauer and his staff donated his time to test students who attend Monroe County schools and are visually impaired. Five students from Key West participated in the clinic. A big thank you to Dr. Mauer for your expertise, caring and generosity for the students of Monroe County who needed your service! A big thanks to Sharon Day for all of her efforts and taking the time to set this up for her students!

welcome to the world of blogging!
What can I say, I am excited to be able to discuss some of the exciting things that happen in the field of blindness, technology and education. This "blogging" thing is new to me so be patient, I am still learning but I can't wait to see where this journey takes me!
